I used the m prefix when using VB6. Now with VS2005, I much prefer the _ and have also stoped using str, int, prefixes also. Much more like the Java mode for naming object. David

Use the "g" or "G" for general date. The lower case g will give you to minutes as you asked (short date and short time). If you use capital G, you also get seconds (short date and long time. If you do not want the AM/PM notation, use a custom format mask "M/d/yyyy m:h". Note, capitalization is important. Use M for month and m for minutes. If you use h you get 12 hour notation, if you use H, you get 24 hour notation. David

What i mean by a program is an executable that will do a variety of tasks. When I say app, I mean the entire application, which consists of 15-25 programs and a number of DLLs. I want a DLL, that I call AppInfo, which contains general info that all programs need access to, such as SchoolYear. The application is involved with schools and school services. One thing it tracks is the type of student involved in the school year, is the student a Senior, Undergrad, or Postgrad (college). This is a toggle that the user of a given program will select to determine functionality for each type of student. This AppInfo DLL also contains functions specific for client specifications. For example, a rounding function that always rounds to the next nickle (no pennies wanted :)). I am looking for a way to create this DLL such that initialization is very simple. I used to simply call the AppInfo.Init from Main to set it up. I have not found a way to create a DLL that is available to all program functions. A program may consist of many forms and support DLLs. Thanks for any support David

I would like to use a global DLL that could be called by any program in the app. In VB6, all I had to do is create a code module which inited the DLL variables, some of which come from the database. I am migrating this app with new features to C# and have been unsuccessful in getting my ALLINFO.DLL to be availabe. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks David
